Answers about ClipRecast credits, Google sign-in, source rights, watermarks, generation time, and technical-failure credit returns.

What does ClipRecast do?

ClipRecast helps short-form teams turn rights-cleared source footage into character variations while preserving the scene and motion. It records the route, quote, credits, and async job status.

How do ClipRecast credits work?

One product credit represents US$0.01 of ClipRecast usage. A route quote converts the selected workflow and duration into required credits before generation. Product credits are not the same as a provider’s API units.

Does every new workspace receive 1,000 credits?

In the current internal beta, yes. Each workspace receives one initial 1,000-product-credit ledger grant. This is a ClipRecast balance, not 1,000 free Kling API units. The grant can change before public paid generation opens.

Can I paste a YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram URL?

You can add a public social URL as a reference. ClipRecast does not download social-platform media from that link. Upload an original or authorized file when you want to generate.

What happens when a provider fails?

Confirmed technical failures can return eligible reserved product credits. A valid output that does not match a subjective preference is different and is not automatically treated as a technical refund.

Can I use public figures or political candidates?

No. ClipRecast blocks public-figure impersonation, political impersonation, minors, deceptive identity use, and other high-risk categories described in the Acceptable Use Policy.

Will the result have a watermark?

The direct Kling developer API benchmark file currently shown on ClipRecast has no embedded watermark. Upstream provider behavior can change, so each paid route is validated before it is offered.

How long does generation take?

Generation is asynchronous. Queue and provider time vary by route and demand. You can leave the tab, return to the workspace, and inspect the job status and downloadable output when it is ready.
